Former Trump White House adviser Kellyanne Conway on Monday pushed back on calls for the former president to “pick a woman” as his running mate, urging him instead to pick a “person of color.”
Conway, who argued that she was “right” in pushing Mike Pence to be Trump’s running mate in 2016, in a New York Times op-ed rejected the “popular suggestion” that Trump pick a woman as his running mate as President Joe Biden did four years earlier, claiming that the country “suffers daily the consequences of embracing identity politics” because Vice President Kamala Harris does not take “her job seriously” and has “not appreciably helped” Biden govern.
